The Importance of Being Elsa

I am 16 Going on 17

Innocent as a rose....well maybe not, but I am 16 3/4 years old! STILL going strong, everyone says I'm "amazing" or a "miracle." I dunno, all I want is treats. And I can smell them. In your pocket. Can't hear a damn thing. Just give me the biskie.

15 and still going strong!

Hello pup pals,

Just wanted to update everyone on my life. I'm about 15 now and healthy as a mutt! I still take two good walks in Prospect Park everyday (unless it's windy, rainy, or too cold for the humans to stay out too long), and can still climb the 4 flights to my apartment. In fact, I can still jump up on my parents' bed!

I had a little back problem last winter, so Mom took me to Dr. Lon for accupressure massage. After 4 or 5 sessions I felt great and was climbing the stairs again. Now I get one every 2 or 3 weeks. I don't always enjoy it but I sure feel great afterwards!

Sadly I've lost many of my best friends over the last few years. I miss Junior, Max, Pugsley, Luka, Phoebe, Tora-chan, and Old Boyfriend. Not every dog is as lucky as me, though I wish we could all live forever!
